The Essential

Staples for every Juan’s wardrobe

Admit it. There are days when you just roll out of bed and grab the first thing on top of the pile. For a lot of guys this may probably be the norm and their accustomed way of life. I’ve had a lot of these days myself recently, partly due the lack of time to get ready but more because I’m just not in the vibe to dress up. Some days (okay, maybe A LOT), I simply don’t care. Unfortunately, your appearance for the day is directly proportional to the time and effort put into dressing up. In an ideal universe, we can look put-together everyday involving the most minimal thought process and the least amount of effort.  The practical solution? Stuff your closet with The Essential. Just stick to these staples and you don’t have to buy a truckload of clothes. Keep the approach (devil-may-care) but change the outcome (effortlessly well-dressed).
